Going retro is cool and the straight razor is no different. Thanks to the most recent movie installment in the James Bond series, “Skyfall,” straight razors are popular again. There really is no better feeling than a shave from a straight razor.
The Cutthroat Shavette from Bluebeards Revenge is available here and is a steal at just $9.99.
I’m not going to screw around here, guys. The Schick Hydro 5 Power Select razor was the best razor I have ever used. I could seriously just end the review right there.
For me, the most sensitive area is where my mustache would be if I could grow one (if I were a man), i.e. the area right below my nose, above my upper lip. I anticipate this will be a painful exercise literally every time because it has been for about 15 years- the only way to numb the pain was to load up on high quality shaving cream (or whiskey) and have at it.
But with the Hydro 5, I glided over that area with absolutely no problem, and almost no friction- I couldn’t believe how well it worked. The combination of slight vibration of the razor with the ridiculous amount of “blade-age” left me with mouth agape in amazement.
